I am a poor boy too
Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum
That's fit to give a King
Rum, pa, pum, pum, rum, pa, pum, pum
Rum, pa, pum, pum, rum, pa, pum, pum

Shall I play for You
Our finest gifts we bring
Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum
Me and my drum
When we come
To lay before the King
Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

So to honor Him
Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum
Me and my drum
Little Baby
I played my drum for Him
Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum
Rum, pa, pum, pum, rum, pa, pum, pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum
When we come
Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Our newborn King to see
Then He smiled at me
Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

I played my best for Him

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum
Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum
On my drum, on my drum
Mary nodded
Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum

Pa, rum, pa, pum, pum
I have no gift to bring
I played my drum for Him
For You honored me
